I often watch K-pop dance cover when I'm doing nothing. These days, a variety of dance crews around the world upload their K-pop dancing. It's so interesting for them to enjoy the dancing with their mates regardless of skins, genders, religions and even nations. I was envious that they were able to hang out without any prejudices.
When I was third or last fourth grade in my university, I could see a Indonesian student in the class room. My professor introduced him and said who could help him to get used to this class? All students were quiet like a bee who ate honey. I was wondering if I'd raise my hand or not. But I didn't, because I was not interested in the person. At that time, I was in a slump where I was annoyed about my school and studying every day, so I didn't care the teacher's asking.
Now, I regret that I didn't help the Indonesian student. If so, I was able to learn and experience various things from his different thinking and culture. My see sight was too narrow and made it hard to approach to him. I think, it's important to be kind and humble when I make a new relationship. Nation is not critical factor to be a friend, I believe. I've met international people on various apps for 2 years, but they are all the same, not special. And now I can speak English, so there's no reason to avoid them. Although it will happen misunderstandings due to my English, but we can talk to solve it.
Thanks for reading this.
I'm thankful for your helps.
I love watching dance crews with diverse people! Music brings a lot of different people together :) It is easy to be intimidated by differences, but so important to learn about different cultures and people because we have so much in common too!
@sailorperry thanks for the comment. I agree with u. Culture is also important when making a new friend.
